And the example of how Star Wars: Rebels hero Kanan Jarrus escaped Order 66 in the debut episode of The Bad Batch could point toward even more secret Jedi running around out there in the Star Wars universe. When there weren’t prequels and sequels and spin-off TV shows, we took Yoda at his word in Return of the Jedi, but assuming we count Ahsoka as a Jedi (she self-identifies as such in Mando) and also counting Leia, there are at least four “last Jedi” hanging around in the galaxy after Yoda dies: Ahsoka, Ezra Bridger, and, of course, the Skywalker twins.Ĭould there be others? Had a certain animated Jedi not died just before Episode IV, there would be closer to five active Jedi around in between the beginning of A New Hope and the start of The Mandalorian. In the Mando episode titled “The Jedi,” Ahsoka tells Din Djarin, “There aren’t many Jedi left.” Now, Ahsoka doesn’t give an exact number, but “not very many” is certainly a bigger number than Yoda’s “one.” In The Mandalorian Season 2 alone, set just five years after Yoda’s death, we have Grogu (who has been alive for 50 years!) as well as Ahsoka Tano, who has been a Jedi since way before Order 66 happened. And now, The Bad Batch has illuminated a key detail about Order 66 that pretty much changes everything we thought we knew about the Jedi after Revenge of the Sith. The biggest retcon in Star Wars history has been underway since at least 2014. From a different point of view, Yoda doesn’t know how to count. Since then, we’ve learned that what Yoda said was true, from a certain point of view.
“When gone am I, the last of the Jedi shall you be.” That’s what Yoda told Luke right before he died in Return of the Jedi.
